Fees

Hedera network fees

The Hedera testnet fees tables found below offer a low-end estimate of transaction and query fees for all network services. The tables below contain USD, HBAR, and Tinybar (tℏ) values per each API call. All operation fees on the Hedera testnet are paid in test HBAR, which is freely available and only useful for development purposes.

Fee estimates are based on assumptions about the details of a specific API call. For instance, the fee for an HBAR cryptocurrency transfer (CryptoTransfer) assumes a single signature on the transaction and the fee for storing a file assumes a 1,000-byte sized file stored for 90 days. Transactions exceeding these base assumptions will be more expensive; we recommend increasing your maximum allowable fee to accommodate additional complexity.

Mainnet Fees

Mainnet transaction and query fees can be estimated using the Hedera Fee Estimator. The Fee Estimator allows you to determine fees (in both USD and HBAR, using the current exchange rate live on the mainnet) for individual transactions & queries based on their characteristics, as well as projected costs based on expected volume for those transactions. The estimations may not be 100% accurate and the underlying prices are subject to change without prior notice.

HBAR Denominations and Abbreviations

Denominations	Abbreviations	Amount of HBAR Cryptocurrency
gigabar	1 Gℏ	= 1,000,000,000 ℏ
megabar	1 Mℏ	= 1,000,000 ℏ
kilobar	1 Kℏ	= 1,000 ℏ
hbar	1 ℏ	= 1 ℏ
millibar	1,000 mℏ	= 1 ℏ

Transaction and Query Fees

All fees are subject to change. The fees below reflect a base price for the transaction or query. Transaction characteristics may increase the price from the base price shown below. Transaction characteristics include having more than one signature, a memo field, etc. Please reference the Hedera fee estimator to estimate the transaction or query fee.

Extras

Under the Simple Fees model (HIP-1261), every transaction is calculated as a base fee plus extras. The base fees in the tables above are the starting cost — extras add to that cost based on what the transaction does (number of signatures, keys, NFT serials, gas used, etc.). Each extra has an included count that covers typical usage; you only pay for units above that count. See Fee Model for the full explanation and worked examples.

Extra	USD	Counted By
Signatures	$0.00001	Number of signature verifications on the transaction
Keys	$0.01	Number of keys defined (nested key structures count all keys)
NftSerials	$0.00089	Number of distinct NFT serials
Accounts	$0.0001	Number of accounts loaded during handling
TokenTypes	$0.0001	Number of token types referenced by the transaction
